From time to time we should boast about the changes we are working on and what we are going to achieve.
Reducing the number of computers
IntinteDAO had two servers. One main server on which SteemNova, DGameShop, DGameMarket, SteemDer and many other projects worked.
The second one was a Lenovo Ideapad 100 laptop, which I had at home. It served as a server for a total of one mysterious project that used Windows. Eventually, we managed to replace the old project with a new one written in PHP and NodeJS, which allowed us to give the equipment back to the people in need, and we saved electricity ourselves.
The server itself, with the screen turned off, ate about 10W. So 24 hours of work is 240W, which is a cost of about 2-4 cents a day. Not much, but it is always better to save something ;)
We hope that in the future, each of our employees will have an energy-efficient laptop, which will be sufficient to work. Ecology is our priority.
Token
As some people know, we wanted to generate our own token on Steem Engine. However, the costs were high (generating a token costs 100 ENG, which can be covered by our sponsor, but we wanted to have additional features that cost thousands of ENGs / Steems).
So for now we decided to refrain from generating a token, because this month is supposed to be Hard Fork 21, which will introduce SMT support. Will it be better? (Edit: Ech, SMT will be probably on HF22) Of course not at the beginning, but maybe the competition will force to lower prices? ;)
We can always take the cheapest version of Steem Engine and create a lot of features we want.
SteemNova 2
We are currently working on the second version of SteemNova. A few days ago we fixed one rather annoying bug in the engine (fleet crashes), yesterday we probably fixed the bug with resources. For now we are testing it on Testnet whether it is possible to apply the patch to the main line of the game.
The bug itself is not known to us. We know that it happens very rarely and we suspect what may be the cause, so we don't know if we fixed it (In over 2 million surgeries, it probably happened less than 100 times).
As for the server reboot. Probably we will either create two versions (Old would work, and new with new features) or there will be only "old" with new features.
Rather, it will be the first scenario.
Game (Codename: Mahaado)
In our free time we work on the game :) This is a browser game and if you succeed, you will be able to play with friends (but it is not necessary).
The game code name refers to the oracle from the manga Yu-Gi-Oh!
